Aussie Readers discussion

I would like to introduce my novel, Story of a Stolen Girl, for consideration for inclusion on your reading list. Story of a Stolen Girl is a researched thriller with the timely plot of human trafficking and family bonds within a three-generational, all female family.

Approximately 800,000 men, women and children are bought and sold across international borders every year. When including those not transported over international borders, the number rachets up between two and four million. As the fastest growing organized crime in the world, human trafficking has recently provided impetus for new laws, investigative reporting, and plots for episodes of TV series such as Blue Bloods and Madam Secretary. Kindred to The Girl Who Played with Fire, in my novel, Darby Richards awakens to find herself in dire circumstances.

Story of a Stolen Girl is a fictional accounting of a mother’s love and how far that mother goes to rescue her daughter. At the invitation of her psychology professor, Darby Richards and her college roommate attend a private gambling club. Darby is drugged, kidnapped, and sold through an international human trafficking cartel serving world leaders, corporate CEO’s, and even the President’s Cabinet. A puff of the Columbian drug, Devil’s Breath, renders Darby utterly compliant, controlled by suggestion, and responsive to verbal commands. While held in Ankara, Turkey, she is befriended by other stolen women whose stories, compilations of actual victims, weave throughout the plot. When the FBI, LAPD, and an executive kidnapping insurance company fail to bring her daughter home, Darby’s widowed mother, Nina Richards, concludes she must wait no longer for someone else to rescue her daughter. But what can she do? What would you do to rescue your only child?

Story of a Stolen Girl is available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com, Kindle, Nook, Google Books, and Goodreads as well as with numerous other distributors.

A theme worthy of investigation, Pat. Hope you raise lots of money for the cause.

I have moved this to the Author's spotlight section, which is the only place we allow self promotion of books - no matter how worthy - best of luck with the fund raising.

Is also a good idea to link your book so people can click on it to find out more information.

How do I do that? Thanks

Sounds like an interesting book, good luck!

Please share it with your friends. A portion of the profits from this book go to organizations that either fight human trafficking or provide services to the victims. Thank you for your support!

In the comment box, click "add book/author" - type in the book title or use the ISBN, then "search". When the correct book comes up click "add". You can change from "link" to "cover" down the bottom of the drop-down box, and from "book" to "author" at the top :) Good luck!

Thank you. Do I do this every time I make a comment or does it follow my name/comments? I appreciate your help!

Only when you're talking about the book. Or any book for that matter. Just linking instead of typing means we can all check it out :)

Thank you. I am a novice at goodreads.

That's fine Pat - we all have to learn :)
